Can you be a bit more specific?

Not name calling anyone specifically but you can just look at the most active monthly members and see a decent amount of accounts with barely any online points. (15k is pretty easy to reach in a couple sessions)

That being said, online points aren't necessarily indicative of how much people actually play. Online isn't very active at the moment and there's many ways to play this game outside of online worldwides (lounges, custom tracks, time trials, challenges (not battle mode)). I for example have been active for 2.5 years yet I'm only top 100, simply because I don't enjoy worldwides that much.

Though if they are at exactly 5000, meaning they haven't tried online even once, then yeah kinda problematic lol

If you're the only one who has a problem then it's likely that you are the problem.

Discord has older members, it's allowed to be more edgy. Yes racism is bad we know, doesn't mean we can't have fun with stereotypes. You're missing the nuance.

Look at the second message of this topic. The message gets updated whenever a track gets accepted. (I double checked, all the information is still accurate.)
Though I feel like all the 'Work in Progress' statusses should be removed as alot of track creators (including myself) either took a break or haven't progressed in said track for a very VERY long time.

But yeah there hasn't been much progress lately besides Bowser's Castle

Visuals lack alot of detail
Colissions are terrible

Please compare your tracks to other accepted tracks before submitting

For anyone asking "Can I make ___?", you don't need permission to make a track. Just make the tracks you want to make and if they're good enough submit them here.

You should get back to doing lounges, it's gotten fairly active again

Fways I love you

While me and many others won't quit, there is an undeniable dive in activity.

Unfortunately Wargor hasn't touched this game since January 1st even though there are many things in need of fixing.

Without updates the game is never going to stay active.

RD is easier than snaking lmao

??? I'm telling you how to make the game fun because you're complaining that it's boring, not sure why you think it's a smart move to proceed to insult me.

Lounge is where the high skill games are at my guy. Good rulesets, good tracks, good players, fun gamemodes. All you have to do is join the Discord (you can DM me for an invitation).

Just play lounge if you want the game to be fun

Can't say I blame you. 2024 felt way more active than 2025. What should be an awesome fangame has become a social media platform for 9-12 year olds with barely any moderation (highly irresponsible!)

Maybe once Wargor decides to put forums less on the forefront (has been repeatedly requested for at least 18 months) people might actually play, but I even doubt that by now.

Idk what people are doing here if they don't even like the game, people log on Wii U and 3DS browser to chat on forums bro what are you here forrrr 💀💀💀💀

Online ww are with the garbage base tracks and people who can't RD, assuming you even manage to find enough people for a room. Singleplayer is boring too as CPU's are too easy (they're only 'difficult' difficulty in GP mode) and it's difficult to find any good challenges (even the advent calendar struggled this year for the first half)

Only thing there is to do is make custom tracks nobody will play or wait for a mogi to miraculously gather. Shame.

(This is from the perspective of a C tier lounger lol, also when I talk about distributions I'm referring to the item distribution used in CT Lounge, not the base game.)

S Tier
Free win unless it's at the end of lap 3 in which case you'd likely lose anyway, also a really fun dynamic in teams
How good this item is will depend on the track, but it's not uncommon to get a free top placement just by pressing a button, also shock dodge
Go fast, also really good if paired up with mushrooms, also shock dodge

A Tier
Same thing as a star, just slightly weaker
x3 Mushrooms are pretty essential for most shortcuts, and having three of them just makes it three times better. Also a very easy item to burn in case you want to chain (cough gold shroom cough)
Weaker shock, also alot harder to use right. Can still easily turn the tides on a race though. LE MINI SHOCK
Same thing as triple mushrooms. Also forgot to mention dodging blue shells which is another crucial aspect. While all the other items mentioned earlier (except shock and pow) can blue dodge, an opportunity for that to happen comes very rarely unlike the single shroom which you can pull in 2nd place

B Tier
x3 This item would probably be higher if it wasn't buggy as hell. Single red shells already have some issues, and the triple red shell brings even more issues where you throw a red, it goes backwards, it kills one of your reds, leaving you with a single rotating red shell (worse than just pulling one red shell), fortunately this doesn't happen that often
Speaking of single red shell, this item is generally useful. Sniping 1st place because they made the mistake of showing their fib is always funny. Problem is it can be useless, either going straight into a wall for no reason or hitting a decor with wall collisions (Quick Kernell Pro Track Creation Tip: always disable those, they never play well). Also can be used to scare the people behind you to not catch up.
The best item you can pull in first place, amazing to trail as you'll scare the nutsack of people behind you and especially great on cannons to pretty much guarantee killing someone. You can also snipe if you're good. Only problem is that it can backfire if you don't keep your momentum. Also fun fact I made the new bob omb sprite and Wargor did not put me in the website credits
x3 Contending with the bomb for best item in 1st as this provides really good defense as well as allowing you to block shortcuts
Funny wall snipe haha unga bunga. Also good defensively.
x3 You might be wondering why the triple version is lower, and that is because of the placement. While this item is decent in 2nd, anything behind that is just pretty much trash. Still decently defensive but it won't protect you from all the invincibility items later positions get. Also a good time to mention that if you throw 2 green shells forward in quick succession, they hit each other and if you use a green followed by a mushroom you hit yourself.
Not nearly as good as the triple version, but still able to block a red or make someone take a wider turn.
It does kinda bother me that this is the only item that isn't really an official MK item but whatever it fits the game regardless. Anyway it's just a stronger banana. Really funny to use on tracks with teleporters as you can basically guarantee a hit if another person takes the teleport.

C Tier
Ngl while making the tier list I forgot about C tier lol. Anyway this is the MKPC equivalent of the coin item, as in a mostly useless item so 1st place can't dodge every red shell thrown their way. Can be used to dodge blue shells apparently but it still slows you down and personally haven't had many opportunities to do this strat (wouldn't a banana also be better?)

D Tier
This is a hot take, but honestly this item just exists to punish last place. This item is a significantly worse bullet bill, which you get in the same placements as a bullet bill. All it does is prevent you from using any other item, making you stuck with this. It can be good on some tracks if they have a lot of off road, but there aren't that many. It also ruins your bagging. If there was a button to just end it instantly this item would be A tier, maybe even S but as it is now it is complete garbage.
Probably the most important item from a game design standpoint. Prevents first place from easily winning every race, and being 2nd/3rd and seeing a blue shell on the minimap is very hype. That being said, getting to pull the blue shell is absolutely miserable. I have had a lot of races ruined because I pull a blue instead of any speed item and just lose. First place is also your last interest if you're all the way in the back. Similar to the shock though, a really fun item to use in team mogis (especially in 3v3/4v4)
Yeah it's a joke item. Pretty much useless as it goes for last place which is generally not what you want to hit. High likelihood they dodge too since last has a lot of invincibility items. This item is fun for dicking around, but I wouldn't ever want this in an actual serious race.
You know this item is bad when it does worse than a literal shitpost. This item does basically nothing. The dark shell at least hits something, this doesn't. It puts some ink pngs on your screen but it's really easy to see through them. You can also look at the unobstructed minimap or get rid of the effect altogether with a boost. This item had to be removed from CT Lounge because pulling it would just end your race as you get nothing while your enemies enjoy destroying you with shells or zooming past you with shrooms. Really hope this item gets reworked someday so it's actually usable, there's a lot of creative options you could do with the blooper. You could block the minimaps + item wheel, you could make the ink reduce stats, you could make the ink slippery and probably a million other things I haven't thought of.

holy penis sauce can you two talk in DMs or smth

Don't use MS Paint or any drawing website. Sure it's easier to use but also a lot lower in quality.

I would highly suggest using paint.net. Most other track creators use it so you'll get the most help there.

FireAlpaca is another great program and it's what I personally use.



Other programs possibly good for creating tracks:
(Keep in mind I haven't tried them myself nor do I know anyone who uses them for tracks)
Gimp
Krita (Can be installed on Chromebook)
MediBang
Procreate (Mobile/Tablet only, paid)





Be aware that just because you have a decent program, you won't magically poop out masterful tracks. You should absolutely mess around in the program first and get somewhat familiar with the features before you make a track. Making custom tracks also isn't a quick process, art takes time.

Btw check out Track Creator 101 by RHcks.

You can use the inspect tool (f12) to change the value of the lap counter.

Also works with CPU difficulty to go beyond impossible.

Maybe there's more stuff you can do but I got no clue.

Don't talk big because you're too much of a pussy to play as well 💀
